Wasn't quite sure where to put this but its something that has had a negative effect in my life...

Please note this is NOT an anti-circumcision rant or thread just my experiences with this.

I had this done when I was an older child 5-7 cannot remember exactly when, and the exact reason for it being carried out isn't known to me, i have faint memories of the foreskin being overly tight, but not 100% sure.

Anyway I had this done at the local hospital, stayed afterwards for a night or so ( again being young i can't recall), The first night I was home I woke up in the middle of the night to find my bed full of blood as there was come complications. What ever it was i was treated and everything is ok down there, functional ect, but there has been a small amount of residual scarring and some slight discolouration along the scared areas.

The fall out from this is that I have since had a HUGE phobia and general mistrust of hospitals and Dr's.

Further I am very anxious when being with women for the first time ect and being naked in general around others (gym / pool change rooms ). The scarring and discolouration are small enough that it may not be noticeable but I always notice it and have the concern that it could be a turn off.

Again this is not an anti-circumcision rant, just a warning / reminder that surgery has risks and make any decision carefully

I think your situation is not uncommon among people who are circumcised after infancy usually for medical reasons (like a too-tight foreskin). Everyone is always their own worst critic, and I'm sure your dick looks fine to women and other males.

iwas 1 of 5 boys not circumcised as a baby and had to be cut for med reasons at the age of 27 and the had to be re-cut at the age of 66 because the first doc only cut the tip,i belive all boys should be cut as babys.

Doctors used to think that boys aged 5-7 should have a foreskin that retracts. We now know that this is normal and retraction will develop later. In other words, your circumcision was not really medically necessary.

It is normal, I think, to feel anxious about the discolouration and scarring.

You might want to look into foreskin restoration, which has the ability to return the physical appearance of your penis to that of a normal penis.

Doctors now know that there are conservative methods to treat most issues with the foreskin that do NOT require circumcision.

Unfortunately, this revolution in medical practice came too late to help you.

My partner was circumcised at age 4 at the same time he was given a tonsillectomy. Presumably, the tonsillectomy was the main medical procedure and the circumcision was probably done on the advice of the physician. His father was intact and my partner was the only boy in his family, so I rather doubt that his parents said, "As long as he's under anasthesia, why don't you just clip him?" He said that he awoke and realized they had "done something" to his penis, and that it hurt him. He said once he was able to speak again, he let out a string of curse words to the doctor for doing this to him. Everyone thought it was funny hearing a 4-year old curse like a sailor. He says he remembers it vividly and is somewhat amused by the story. I was rather appalled, but this was apparently small town American medical practice in the 1950's. He and his ex-wife did have their three sons circumcised right after birth.

I"ve read that in the past doctors would do it to boys without the parents consent when they were under anesthesia for something completely un related simply to make money they didn't dare let a foreskin escape their knives.

Someone where around 6 or 7 years old, it was done to me. I recall the event, they repaired a hernia, hydrocele and circumcised me all during the same surgery session. All my parents told me was something about we didn't want you getting funny looks because of your elephant skin peep. Gee thanks!

It is sick, huh? The thing is, circumcision creates circumcisers.

My mom told me they did it automatically in the hospital after bro was born, didn't even ask! She was horrified at what they did...my dad is natural apparently...they never told him because they didn't want him to have a complex.

The irony was later on, bro had his sons cut because it was so important that they match their father. Doh...:rolleyes:

This practice does not stand up to any ethical scrutiny. I wish they hadn't cut my hubby, there would be more to play with, we wouldn't need the lube and he would be able to be gentler with me (and him...even masturbation is rougher than it should be).

We all have things we see as physical imperfections that get sensitive about and worry about but no one ever notices (like big ears for instance, LOL). I'm sure women think your cut cock is just fine, and in fact beautiful, and don't even notice what you are hung up on. You'll find that out over time. Good luck, Buddy :)

This happened to my brother also. Exact way, right down to the bed full of blood. Guess what, brother has the same feeling toward hospitals and doctors still today, and he is over 60 years old. Hell he had a hard time going to hospital when our Dad, and again when our Mother was in the hospital on their death beds. I do believe it has an effect to have this done when younger.

I was 6 or 7 when I was done (foreskin too tight, repeated infections). I don't remember much other than weeping in painful baths (with something salty to prevent infections added I think!) that turned pink.

It's actually very unusual to be cut around here, in fact I don't think I've actually seen another cut penis in the flesh. In the UK (and Europe generally) I believe the rate of circumcision is less than 5%.

To state it clearly and unequivocally, infants and young boys CANNOT HAVE PHIMOSIS, contrary to the misconception and misdiagnosis of ignorant and/or greedy doctors. The foreskin of infants and young boys is NATURALLY tightly adhered to the glans to prevent irritation and infections---NO ONE should try to retract it. To do so causes pain and severe injury that can last a lifetime. The only person who should ever retract a boy's foreskin is the boy himself; through curiosity and experimentation he will discover the proper time for himself. If you have ever seen a video of Male Genital Mutilation (i.e., circumcision), you are aware that the operating butcher must first brutally separate the foreskin from the glans. Just when the foreskin separates naturally, of its own accord, from the glans varies from male to male--sometimes around puberty, sometimes even some years later than that. LEAVE THE FORESKIN ALONE---it is an invaluable organ that contributes to a man's health and sexual pleasure. CIRCUMCISION IS A MEDIEVAL ATROCITY.

I know this thread is necrotic, but it pushed a button when I saw it.

I, too, believe that automatic circumcision is absurd and barbaric. It's nothing short of mutilation and the theft of a male's control over his own body. By the same argument of prophylaxis, we might as well cut off the entire penis now that we have alternate techniques for insemination and the only other material function is aiming urine, which any guy with older sisters knows will never win an argument over standing versus sitting. Think of all the problems prevented: penile cancers, accidental pregnancies, numerous sexually transmitted infections, most rape, penis envy. While we're at it let's avoid all unsightly bulges and prevent one of the most common cancers afflicting women by removing their breasts at puberty.

Circumcision is destructive and should only be performed when necessary. Dangerous foreskin problems are not nearly common enough to warrant the damage inflicted without the guy ever getting a say in the matter. It's his body. It's the responsibility of a parent to raise a child to become an informed and responsible adult able to make their own decisions about their own body, not to permanently deprive them a natural part of themself that has several positive and pleasurable functions.

Wantonly disfiguring an entire population and lying about its quality foments body dysphoria. Don't we already get enough of that crap from advertising and "reality" television?

In case sarcasm eludes anyone, I gleefully admit to liking bulges. :) Amazingly it's still illegal in numerous states and municipalities to present VPL in person or in print, but it floats my boat.

Your experience is almost identical to one of my friends who I've known for 30 years since primary school. So you are not alone.

I was a young teenager when I had mine done and so you could say it was at the worst possible time / age as I was going through puberty and other age related changes at the time. I was VERY concious throughout high school as I was now in the minority (cut) and kids of that age can be very cruel. From your lpsg name, you are now 33 and so past all of that.

My circumcision was not perfect either - they used self-dissolving stitches at the time and one of them didn't work properly so I still to this day have a small lump of skin at the front of my dick which stands out a bit. I must admit that it has never caused any mental issue with me and I can honestly say that not one partner has noticed nor said anything. I also have different colouring where the stitched skin meets. I also used a lot of sunbeds as a younger guy and so my imperfections were now tanned and a little more obvious.....

I think you are being too hard on yourself - every dick is different and yours is unique. You will probably find a female will either not notice at all or, if they do, they will think that it is somewhat kinky / special.

My scenario is very similar to yours in terms of physical appearance from what I am reading here - has not caused me any issue at all either at the gym or in bed - NO ONE has ever mentioned it.

Stop worrying.

Pretty much all circumcised penises have a noticable scar line which is normal. It's not out of the ordinary. I think you are being overly critical. Myself I wish I had a noticable scar line. I'm cut loose and my scar is hidden by shaft skin covering it. I wish I had been cut high and tight when I got cut as an adult. I didn't know at that time I could have specified the type of cut I wanted. The surgeon didn't discuss that with me. So I think you're worrying about something that nobody even notices.
